AWARDS PICNIC Friday, May 13, turned out to be quite a lucky day for students who received academic awards. For the first time, the annual awards picnic was hosted by DuPont at the company park. Those students who were recognized at the awards ceremony at the Victoria Community Center were allowed to spend the day at Du- Pont. Activities, such as horseshoes to frisbee to volleyball, were held throughout the day. However, the see-saws and the swings never had a lonely moment the entire day. Faculty member, Carolyn Dornak organized sev- eral relay type games along with the usual egg and water balloon toss. Lunchtime finally came and everyone en- joyed the barbecue and watermelon. By 3 p.m. most eve- ryone was ready to get back to school so they could go home and rest after a long day at play. COOL KID: Arthur Ellis dem- onstrates the proper technique on how to toss a horseshoe. Many students went to Du- Pont Park for the awards pic- nic. [•li VALEDICTORIAN
